INSTRUCTION

In the event that we have unsuitable conditions for paragliding, you can get out on the water instead. Pak Nam Pran is an up-and-coming kiteboarding spot and is super-friendly for beginners with laminar winds, flat water & shallow lagoons. The water is so warm that you can stay in it all day.

We offer a range of instruction to suit your needs from introductory courses to advanced level clinics. Please see the table below for a summary of what's on offer. The prices given are for one to one instruction. Sharing lessons with a second student reduces the cost by 25% each.

Lessons are given by IKO certified instructors.

The course covers as a minimum: understanding the wind (theory and meteorology), equipment & setup, beach & water launches, upwind and downwind bodydragging, water relaunches, board starts and self rescue. It may also include progression to more advanced riding such as upwind technique, posture and turns - depending on your progression.
